An introductory source aimed at practicing engineers and material scientists, the text explains how to use phase diagrams. The more than 1,000 binary and 300 ternary diagrams included cover most commercial alloy systems. Appendices include the melting and boiling points of the elements, their allotropic transformation and magnetic transition temperatures and their crystal structures.

Review
Alloy phase diagrams have long been used successfully by the scientific, engineering, and industrial communities as "road maps" to solve a variety of practical problems. It is, thus, not surprising that such diagrams have always been an important part of ASM Handbooks. The previous ASM compilation of commercially important diagrams appeared in Volume 8 of the 8th Edition of Metals Handbook.
Shortly after publication of the earlier volume in 1973, recognition of the universal importance of alloy phase diagrams led to the formation of several national phase diagram programs, as well as the International Programme for Alloy Phase Diagrams to act as the coordinating body for these activities. In the U. S., the national program has been spearheaded jointly by ASM International and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
To meet the pressing need for diagrams, the national programs and the entire International Programme had two main goals: to increase the availability of phase diagrams and to ensure that the diagrams made available were of the highest possible quality. The specific tasks that were undertaken to accomplish these goals included assembling all existing data related to alloy phase diagrams, critically evaluating these data, using the data to construct the most up-to-date and accurate diagrams possible, and making the resulting diagrams readily available for use.
With the publication of the three-volume set of Binary Alloy Phase Diagrams, Second Edition, by ASM in 1991, the binary alloy portion of this monumental task is virtually complete. In addition, the first-ever truly comprehensive collection of ternary diagrams, the multivolume Handbook of Ternary Alloy Phase Diagrams, is scheduled for publication by ASM in 1994. Information from these two extensive and current diagram sources have been used as the basis of this updated engineering reference book, which reproduces the diagrams of the most commercially important systems (1046 binaries plus 80 ternaries) in a single, convenient volume. These alloy systems are represented by more than 1100 binary diagrams and 313 ternary diagrams, all plotted in weight percent as the primary scale.
The binary diagrams reproduced in this Handbook were selected from the 2965 systems covered in Binary Alloy Phase Diagrams, with updated diagrams from literature published since January 1991. Included with the binary diagrams is a complete index of all known alloy phase diagrams from all sources, listing where each can be found should a problem arise concerning a binary system not covered in this Handbook. Although many of the diagrams listed in this index (and a few of those reproduced in this volume) have not been evaluated under the Programmed, they were selected to represent the best available. Updated binary diagrams from the phase diagram update section of the Journal of Phase Equilibria and abstracts of new full-length evaluation from the Journal of Phase Equilibria and the Monograph Series on Alloy Phase Diagrams are available from ASM International on a continuing basis through the Binary Alloy Phase Diagrams Updating Service.
The ternary diagrams reproduced here were selected from more than 12,000 diagrams being assembled for the ternary handbook. Where available, diagrams from recently published evaluated compilations were selected. The remainder were selected to represent the best available.
To aid in the full and effective use of these diagrams to solve practical problems, we have included an Introduction to Alloy Phase Diagrams, which contains sections on the theory and use of phase diagrams, and an Appendix listing the relevant properties of the elements and their crystal structures. --ASM International
